About this Event
Watercolor Tunnel Book Art Workshop for Teens
Discover the magic of storytelling through layers in this creative watercolor workshop! Teens will learn how to design and build a Watercolor Tunnel Book—a three-dimensional artwork made from multiple watercolor paper layers stacked like a shadow box, creating depth, perspective, and atmosphere.
Using drawing and watercolor techniques, participants will create a scenic composition where each layer adds a new visual element to the story.
Ages: 8–14
Level: All levels welcome — no prior art experience needed
Materials: All supplies provided
Location: Fort York Library – Meeting Room (1st Floor)
Instructor: Artist Cindy Li
What Students Will Learn
- How to plan and create a scene using layered composition
- Basic drawing and watercolor techniques
- How depth and perspective work in multi-layered art
- How to construct and assemble a tunnel book step by step
How It Works
- Participants will build their artwork layer by layer:
- Background washes and sky
- Architectural or landscape elements (such as houses or trees)
- Foreground details and characters
- Final layers for grass, texture, and depth
- The instructor will demonstrate each step—from drawing and painting to assembling the tunnel book—ensuring everyone feels confident and supported.
A relaxed, friendly workshop that encourages imagination, experimentation, and hands-on creativity.
